What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Gheorghe]

Here another of my early treasures. 

You will find most of the material on the Milestone CD "Fats Navarro" but not all: The vocals, listed on that Musidisc done by an "unknown" actually are by Kenny Hagood, anyway he is one of the most easy recognizable vocalists. 

"Pennies from Heaven" is done in a slow manner, and "The Kitchenette Across the Hall" is a rare Dameron song with the lyrics also by Dameron.

All Play great here. Fats is in top form and Plays some of the best bop trumpet I ever heard, Allen Eager is beautifully relaxed, and you can hear some short piano solos by Dameron. 

On the last track "Wahoo" there´s no Fats, it´s Kai Winding and Allen Eager…..

We called this "the blue Tadd Dameron-Fats Navarro Album"...…..

Don’t have the Esquire of that one but I do have the later Stateside Vols 1 and 2 with the Ray Avery photos on the cover.

Confession - I don't have it either, but I used to borrow it from a record library around 1960 and I love the cover design and illustration - not forgetting the sublime music, of course. 

[sidewinder]

Plus I got it wrong about the Stateside LPs - they have white cover with art pattern. No Avery photos - which are on the Prestige LPs.

Mostly piano solos and a few trio sessions (China Boy !) from 1933-1941.

Good stuff!

I must have been something like "the Musidisc Man" since I purchase so many of them. While the former postet Tadd Dameron-Fats Navarro was live material from the Royal Roost, this one is studio material from Savoy records. Mostly it has the 1946 stuff featuring also Sonny Stitt and Kenny Dorham (Boppin a Riff Part 1 and 2, Everything´s Cool Part 1 and 2 etc ).

I have a copy of that one somewhere. At the time it was about the only vinyl I could afford !

At last I'm spinning Rendell/Carr' records, now:

A great one!

 Johnny Clegg & Savuka ‎- Shadow Man

I have fond memories of seing this band in the late 80s and the late 90s.

 Quincy Jones ‎– Go West, Man!

Fine Music, but weird to see the producer honored as the leader.

Ben Webster, Georges Arvanitas ‎- Autumn Leaves (Futura)

I´ll never Forget how I purchased this: It was the day after I first had seen live the Max Roach Quartet and the next day I hurried to my record dealer (Radio Kratz, Mariahilferstrasse) and asked if they have some Max Roach and Mr. Kratz gave me this one.

Though it´s done some 15 years earlier then my first live concert of Max Roach, I was quite astonished to hear very similar Things in his drumming, mostly on his Extended drum solo on "Speak Brother Speak" which is a Variation of "the drum also waltzes". 

Great tune also "Variation" . 

And since I was a really Mingus man, I had all the Mingus stuff on that "America" label, I was pleased to see that Cliff Jordan and Mal Waldron also were Mingus Alumni. Not to Mention Max Roach who had recorded with Mingus not only on Massey Hall, but also on the Bohemia stuff "Mingus Quintet plus Max Roach"...….

I think this one was my first LP of the Messengers. It was the RCA "Black and White" Series.

Really nice with Bill Hardman and Johnny Griffin, and the way how they played stuff like "I could have danced all that night" , otherwise rarely played by jazzmusicians…...

I saw Joe Farrell once in 1983 in a quartet with Joanne Brackeen on piano. Great evening. Even if Chet Baker was scheduled to Play with Joe Farrell but as on so many occasions was not able to make the gig.

Because Bobby Riggs couldn't hang with Archie Shepp?

I thought it is Charlie Haden painted. I remember this Album, it was around in the late 70´s. The only strange Thing in this combination is Hampton Hawes, he doesn´t necessarly fit into that Group of free jazz pioneers. 

But the idea to Play Duos with his former emplyoees was very interesting. 

Wasn´t "Soapsuds" also a Ornette - Haden duo ? I don´t have it.

I don´t know who Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs are.
